Whoops, there went March. And most of April.

We're back! All the news that we make time to print. Or something.

K's had some excitement at work, where his studio was/wasn't closed, he did/didn't have a job or a project. He is, at this moment, still employed in Foster City and he even has a new project...but we can't talk about that. Officially. My work remains oddly the same yet ever-changing. I'm looking forward to a short break in early May, when I head to Asia for a week+ to hang out with Mom. I'll sneak in a few days in our Tokyo office while I'm there. The weather in the Bay Area is starting to change, showing signs of warmth (but not too much), and the trees on our street are sprouting happy green leaves. Except for the one in front of our house, which is literally retarded - it blooms later and sheds its leaves later than all the other trees on the street.

Here's a vignette from our January vacation: we were stopped in Amalfi on the way to Ravello for lunch and a stroll. The next bus wasn't due for an hour, so mom asked the local entrepreneurial taxi drivers what it would cost to get up to Ravello. We met: Elvis.

On the windy road up to Ravello, his stories of bad drivers on the narrow streets were accompanied by the sounds of "Heartbreak Hotel". He eventually had to turn it off because the road quality was so bad it caused the CD player to skip.

Groovy.
